Thermal Radar 3

Imstant Fan Tuning, Complete System Cooling
Our Thermal Radar 3 software allows you to control connected chassis fans, water pumps, AIOs, and even the fans of ASUS graphics cards, providing ultimate cooling performance for gaming and productivity. Multiple onboard sensors also enable the temperatures of key components to be monitored in real time, so you can assess and optimize cooling efficiency.

SafeSlot

Protect Your Graphics Card Investment
SafeSlot* is the PCIe slot reinvented by ASUS and engineered to provide superior retention and shearing resistance. Manufactured in a single step using a new insert-molding process, SafeSlot integrates the slot with fortifying metal for an inherently stronger slot, which is then firmly anchored to the PCB through additional solder points.

Intel VROC Support

Unleash the TUF X299 Mark 2 with optional Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (VROC) technology with the addition of an ASUS Hyper M2 X16 Card. This optional Card allows you to attach up to four PCIe 3.0 x16 M2 drives; for a total bandwidth of up to 128Gbps! With VROC hardware, you can utilize CPU PCIe lanes to configure a bootable RAID array, eliminating traditional DMI bottlenecks, so that storage transfers aren'‘'t held back by other, nore traditional data traffic.ASUS Hyper M2 X16 Card available separately for purchase.

Onboard M.2 Speeds up to 32Gbps!
With M.2 Slots with x4 PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth, M2 slots support up to 32 Gbps data-transfer speeds. It's the perfect choice for an operating system or application drive, providing fast access to data.
